the company says it was back in february at its store in seabrook, new hampshire when they sold tamerlan tsarnaev a pair of lock and load reloadable mortar kits for $199 apiece. the company executive telling the report, barely legal right above where it says locked and load. the company executive told reporters today the amount of combustible or explosive material that a person might be able to recover from this particular fireworks kit would not have been enough to make the bombs made in boston last week. that is the word from that company official. in terms of fireworks being a source of explosive material for improvised explosive devices we are familiar with that concept in part because of the times square bomber. remember he used fireworks powder in his own poorly designed explosives that failed to detonate in times square in 2010. he had reportedly been trained in person in pakistan by militant groups there. powder recovered from fireworks is also described in the instructions for assembling improvised devices that were published in the al qaeda magazine "inspire" published online.
